[QUOTE="Stoshowicz, post: 601722, member: 31397"] I do the same thing, not counting one unless I get some pic of it , I want to be able to check myself. I tend to be a stickler about that because frankly, my imagination can turn a blur into an exotic rarity effortlessly. And looking back , If I really wasnt sure of my ID's , the list would lose its meaning to me. But everyone has their own standard , which Is theirs to require of themself. One time a guy showed me a bird through his scope , that must have been a half mile away in a field, he said it was a buff breasted sandpiper, all I could actually see was a tan blur which could indeed have been that species,, for me , I dont feel like I actually [I]saw[/I] it enough to say I saw it , even if it[I] Was[/I] exactly what he said it was, but If he wants to check it off his own personal achievement list , that's fine too. The specs which I have for myself , serve to limit my goals to a difficult but actually achievable level , and it doesnt have me running all over the place against my sedentary lifestyle and paycheck , to do it. I can relax and just watch things sometimes too , knowing its not on my list. [/QUOTE]
